"This is definitely my last World Cup. I have to perform as a player, and of course, my role as captain is going to be important too. I have to fulfill my duties, but there is nothing more I can do. I do not have any personal goals. I never want to take any extra pressure," ICC quoted Mortaza, as saying.
"I am a believer in luck. So what is meant to happen, will happen. It is also not that I will do any extra preparation. It is just another big tournament for us and we want to play well to make it memorable. Nothing is impossible, but it will be very important for us to handle the ups and downs," he said.
The 35-year-old said that Bangladesh squad named for the forthcoming marquee event is similar to the squads that contested the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 and Asia Cup 2018, adding, the players that have got the ticket to England for the World Cup, are the "best available" in the team.
"It is the same team apart from one or two players, which has been playing together for the last two-three years but we do not have any trophy to show even though we played some finals," he said.
